NT Wishlist

Updated 8/21/2007 by Steveo

So, with the last few patches, and really for a while, we've needed a new wishlist. This one we are going to try to simplify and maybe try to get some key points across however, this won't be an exhaustive wishlist, more like what are the top wishes we have at the moment.

Nt's must constantly click in order to get their nukes to fire consistently. This is annoying, and frustrating and also prevents us from doing other things while we are casting, including interacting with others on our team. We would like to see some kind of mechanism not unlike gun fire where we can load a nuke and let it nuke for us.

Nanobot Guard Fix

This can happen in a few ways that would make sense

Exchange the dot for a large (50k?) hit to our nanopool, the dot makes things much harder for us in a few ways and it would make our nano perks etc much more effective if we had a hit rather than a constant dot

Fix the way that HP works so that us gaining more hp doesn't screw up the guard. The way that things are currently calculated. The more hp we have the less effective nanobot guard is. Yet a lot of our new content stresses hp, please pick a direction

Give us a nano "behe" - give us a way to severely boost our nano pool for a time period. A huge spike to our nanopool could be very beneficial in many circumstances we currently find ourselves in.

More Damage!!!

Nt's are constantly in need of more damage in a pvm context. Our shoddy defences and lack of team desirability lead us into the camp of damage dealers yet, in most cases we are low to the middle of the pack in "pvm" situations. Please give us more ways to become the glass cannons many of us want to be.**Please note** Our detaunts will need adjusting to deal with this, as it is, our current detaunt isn't very effective and if we get more damage we will need detaunts powerful enough to keep us out of harms way**

Less ways to be instantly destroyed by nearly everyone

NT's face many problems with being completely shut down, this comes from many angles most recently from traders, but also from MP's, and Ma's along with many other professions that can just out and out destroy us in a matter of seconds due to their huge offensive capabilites and our flagging defense. We can use some help in a few ways

Stun resistance and lots of it

Some way to counteract the new trader nano or at least not be completely disabled for a minute by it

Seperating our offensive and defesive lines so that we can retaliate more effectively while being attacked

Debuff extensions

Our blinds are in sore need of updating, especially with all of the resistance to them that is being added, and the addition of so much AR to the game, we could really use an update to how much they can do from a debuffing perspective.

Blink type perk/special/proc

As a way to escape or sneak around, seperate from concealment values. This would allow us to disappear for a period of time to escape and pop us again somewhere else.

Add "considerable detaunts" to the "more damage" section, as it is it's very hard to keep aggro away from yourself unless you sacrifice damage. Notum Siphon's Fade Anger special is far from enough. This is miainly a Rubi-Ka location based issue, but would become an issue in SL as well if we dealt significantly more damage.

Without all available damage add items I'm at 7142-13246 on IU, and on RK that really does pack a punch on mobs, including newer boss mobs. With everything possible equipped (that I can remember off the top of my head) we can get as much as ~7431-13783. And that's only sacrificing one location for something gimp with only nanodamage (wicked hood)...

More would be nice, no doubt, but it would also become a rather large problem to hold aggro away from ourself.

Means: about f'ing time :P

Madarab: we are aoe class, we are supose to use pistols
Marxgorm: the NT toolset does not fit into my raiding tactics

I do think that either all cap times on our nanos should be removed, or like nanofox said, give us casting whilst running. I would actually prefer one of those rather than number 4, because if we got eg. more stun resistance this would probably soon be countered by better stuns, countered by more stun resistance.....ad infinatum. Running or instacasting makes all our offense and defense more flexible, regardless of which nano we are talking about.

I don't have nano problems myself, but then I piled all my perks on the +nano and +nano delta lines...

Removing the cap times on nano casting would certainly solve most of our damage chronical gimpness... every once in a while one gets tired of being constantly outdone in DD by the party's DOCTOR.

... I have heard that damage goes up past 210... but so far from level 100 to 210, NT's damage is a joke. Seriously devs, crats can solo, docs can solo, even traders perhaps can solo, NT is so far the only class with zero solo abilities, very little to contribute to teams, and one of the higher learning curves (if not the highest). We're not talking Guild Wars, would -YOU- pay a monthly suscription for a class that can't pull its own weight altogether?

Buffs for consealment (Invisibility), perception (true sight), break and entry (magic unlock )
So far i am ok with low hp twink and NG triple combo for pvp . But please add more +%nanodmg ,+MC/NR, +Mana and - 1000 HP items In one item ofcourse .
The bigist help would be fixing the way nanocasting works now. Fix the damn auras breking it as well zonig in BS breaking it also .
Damage in pvm sux badly (when AOE cant be used) .

More triples would be nice . Like triple blind insted of casting blind 3x times

Idiotic items like -HP for the sake of twinking low-HP setups should be abolished. A fix for how the game works is needed. Not stupid work arounds that go against all logic and gamemechanics.
-HP should only be on items to balance it for a boost, but since there's like no other professions getting any penalties on their items, other than that they may not buff all their skills and just their primary attack skill by ungodly amounts, I don't see why NTs should get them either.
